questioning the use of ear plugs
In Canada the yellow cylindrical foam plugs are about $2.95 for two
pair at Chinadian Tyre. The identical ones are about $17 for a box of
200 pair at Acklands.
Don't leave home without them.

water pump
I replaced the seals in my '99 a few weeks ago. It had begun to weep
a little. I replaced the oil seal, mechanical seal and the o ring in
the impeller. I had to clean up the shaft just slightly with steel
wool, oiled the new seals liberally and was very careful when putting
the clutch cover on to avoid damaging the oil seal. Rotated the
impeller in the direction of the threads on the shaft as I put it on.
All is good. No leaks. Ken
